A technology team is like a jigsaw puzzle. It takes many unique pieces to create the big picture. Conversely, a team that consists of many of the exact same piece has a hard time making something compelling. I will talk a bit about our journey at LinkedIn – how we started at first with building awareness of how people with disabilities use technology, to building inclusive product, to looking inward at how to create inclusivity in our organization, which will ultimately result in a more compelling product.

With Sam’s expertise in Human Resources, he offers sage advice for hiring managers, executives, advocates, and community members on including, mentoring and becoming an ally for a diverse technology-evolution workforce. He'll also address how people with disabilities (PwDs) can rethink their success through career development – to remain competitive in a rapidly changing world.

Are you awkward or uncomfortable interacting with someone with a disability? Have you misjudged someone’s talent without even knowing it? Join our interactive session to learn practical steps to confidently and comfortably interact with people with disabilities and challenge misinformed assumptions.

Join us for a Career Fair connecting companies who care about diverse talent and tech candidates with visible and invisible disabilities. Candidates: meet inclusive tech companies who are hiring, receive 1:1 resume help, take part in Mentor Office Hours with key tech company recruiters. If you're an inclusive tech company, contact us to join the Career Fair!

Co-led workshop exploring and modeling how empathy can create safe spaces for potential allies and sustain meaningful engagement with diversity initiatives. This session will include both an overview of this theory and strategies for practical application.

Employers committed to disability recruitment often struggle to maintain websites and application processes that are usable to target applicant groups.... To effect real cultural change within the organization, Human Resource needs to drive online recruitment accessibility – not the IT group.

In this workshop, we invite educators, nonprofits and tech companies to come together around solving the skills gap and opportunity gap for people with disabilities in tech. This interactive session is for tech companies (HR, recruiters, hiring managers, D&I), educators (k-12, higher ed, bootcamps, code schools), service providers and people with disabilities.

Join this diverse panel of people from across the tech ecosystem for a deep and animated discussion about deaf culture, the deaf community and how we can better include people with hearing impairments into our work cultures. Panel developed by William Albright.
